Pomarkku: Tie 23 - Pori
The landscape around Pomarkku is forested and gently rolling, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This small municipality in Satakunta is arranged around dispersed homes, local roads and Finland’s Highway 23, which links Pori with inland eastern Finland toward Joensuu. Woodland remains close to the road network, giving Pomarkku a distinctly rural scale rather than a dense urban centre. The Pomarkunjoki belongs to the wider Karvianjoki river basin. Pomarkku also has Isoröyhiö, a Bronze Age burial cairn that records human presence in this part of western Finland long before the modern road network.

Among the municipalities of Mainland Finland, Pomarkku stands out for its setting along the Pomarkunjoki River in the wooded inland of Satakunta. Forest, farmland and small waterways shape this quiet rural community, which lies away from Finland’s coastal cities yet remains closely tied to the wider landscape of western Finland. Pomarkku Church, a wooden church completed in 1802, is a local historical landmark and a reminder of the parish traditions that have long structured life here. The area suits travellers interested in Finland beyond its major urban centres, where everyday life follows the rhythm of the seasons.

North of the city, Yyteri is recognised for its long sandy beach and dune terrain. Further south, Rauma preserves Old Rauma, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed wooden town centre whose street plan reflects centuries of maritime trade and craftsmanship.

The terrain of Finland ranges from low coastal plains along the Gulf of Bothnia to fells in Lapland, creating a country of forests, lakes and long northern distances. More than 180,000 lakes shape everyday life, while the Lakeland region is threaded with waterways and islands. Helsinki, on the Gulf of Finland, combines neoclassical landmarks around Senate Square with contemporary Finnish design. Farther north, the Sámi are Finland’s only recognised Indigenous people, and their culture remains closely connected to the Arctic region. In winter, snow and ice transform the north; in summer, long daylight extends outdoor life well into the evening. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Finland.
